Is it possible to not receive any email on root@ account?
Because I already receive emails an admin@ account…

Thanks.

Davide’s post here shows how to route root’s mail to a different user.

Cheers.

But emails already arrive to other user… but today I opened root mail and there was 200 mails…

4

That were originally addressed to root ??

Do you recognise what sent them.

Cheers.

Yes, they were originally addressed to root.

Emails that appears also in root mail are sent from root.

In my notes, I have the following:

Move (not copy) mail from root -> admin
---------------------------------------
config setprop root KeepMessageCopy no

Unfortunately, I can’t remember where I originally saw this mentioned.

Cheers.

In your opinion if I try config command, emails are deliver to admin but not conserved in root?

Back to (sorta) the original questions.

How are you re-directing the mails originally sent to root to the alternative address.

What is sending the mails.

And to clarify what you are saying: All the mails redirected from root to the alternate address are retained in root as well as being forwarded.

Cheers.

With the profile page where there is “External email address option”

The system… with root account.

A question… after this command

I have to execute a singal-event command? If yes, what command?

Thanks.

11

Almost certainly.

I don’t know, sorry. Perhaps @davidep or @giacomo can help.

Cheers.

If I do a backup (data) with send an email to root, the email has to arrive to admin and not keeped in root mail, correct?

Person who should get root’s mail

#root: marc
root: admin@domain.ext, root

19

That should only be:

root: admin@domain.ext

Not sure what’s adding the additional “root”, which is causing the duplicate.

Cheers.
